# NSF Offers AI Challenge Supplements

The National Science Foundation is offering eligible recipients of current AI-related NSF awards supplemental funding for student and educator activities supporting the 2027 Presidential SI Challenge. Each supplement can cover up to 20% of the original award, capped at $100,000, and activities may run for up to 12 months. Funding requests are due **November 10, 2026 (5 days remaining)**; the opportunity is limited to eligible current NSF award recipients, rather than contractors or education partners applying independently.

- Eligible awardees can use the supplements for student teams, AI education, mentorship, and hands-on learning activities.
- Contractors and education partners may find opportunities to support eligible grantees with technical training, computing resources, mentorship, or student-team activities; they should coordinate with award recipients rather than treat the supplement as a direct contract opportunity.
- Organizations supporting eligible awardees should confirm that the underlying NSF award qualifies and that requests are submitted by the deadline.
